Biblical hope is different than worldly hope. When we typically use the word hope we express desire and doubt. Biblical hope is defined by confident assurance in God’s character and promises. Biblical hope is not easy to embrace at a heart level. It requires deliberate care and attention to take root. This sermon looks at how scriptures instructs us to cultivate confident, living hope in our hearts.
